Hershey's Carrot Cake Kisses are the new thing for spring

Hershey's has a new Easter candy and no one may like it more than that egg-delivering rabbit.

The company has recently released carrot cake flavored Hershey's Kisses just in time for spring. It's unclear whether this will make a splash in the holiday treat scene, as vegetable-flavored chocolate might make or break a child's Easter basket.

"Everyone loves new a new flavor and Hershey is no exception," Hershey representative Lauren Aardewijn told Mashable in an email. “Carrot cake was chosen as a new flavor this season because it’s fun and unique- carrots are the snack of choice for bunnies and there’s nothing more symbolic of the season than the Easter Bunny. So we took the classic flavor of carrot cake, a seasonal favorite and combined it with the iconic Hershey’s Kisses."

"The Kisses are made with white candy coating with a hint of orange coloring," Aardewijn told us. "Spices and vanilla are added to the flavoring to give you the carrot cake and cream cheese like icing flavor."

Sounds pretty good if you love carrots as much as the Easter Bunny.

While the Hershey website has yet to formally announce the new flavor, Ron Burrage, their Head of Design, tweeted about the new product.
